About Kazuo Ishiguro winning the Nobel Prize in Literature

About doing a Minority Month in my reading

This September I did a Minority Month: I tried to only read books written by people who are in any way a minority. In noticed that I read way to many white, male, straight authors, and I wanted to bring some more diversity in my reading.
